title: Application of fluorescent PSF for 3D reconstruction of absorbing structure using slab transillumination images.
abstract: In transillumination imaging of an animal body using near-infrared light, the image is blurred due to the strong scattering in the tissue. We have devised the depth-dependent point spread function (PSF) to suppress the scattering effect in fluorescent imaging. In this study, we applied this principle and developed a technique to reconstruct the absorbing structure in turbid medium without using fluorescent material. In experiments, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed technique were verified.
